Latest Developments in Venezuela

Episode Notes:

President Nicolas Maduro has alleged that Venezuela thwarted a coup attempt on May 3. Two U.S. citizens were detained in the raid. According to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, “There was no U.S. government direct involvement in this operation … (If) we’d have been involved, it would have gone differently.”
